We were invited for a media preview of this promotion and we are happy to recommend it to our readers. We take you through a photographic tour of the menu….[All pictures shot on Asus Zenfone 2]   The evening began with Parmesan crème brulee and white truffle oil accompanied by Luna Argenta Brut. A perfect combination of salty Parmesan and smooth, fruit-driven Brut. Soup with wine? That’s an odd combination. However, the classy Vila Antinori Bianco with its grassy noted proved to be a good companion to asparagus’ strong flavours. Coming from a warm region of Italy, the wine has that ripeness. Caramalized onions bring in desirable sweetness to the palate. This was our…

Take a few lessons from science. Add some arty strokes. Garnish it with attention-grabbing theatrics. Voila! That’s the recipe for an innovative, successful restaurant. Molecule makes success look as effortless and as simple as that. If only it was that easy, we’d have plenty more fascinating eateries. Not that this is the first attempt at molecular gastronomy. In fact, there are quite a few already. Molecular Gastronomy noun the application of scientific principles to the understanding and development of food preparation. It takes various ingredients in right measure to make an extraordinary restaurant. And Molecule, the newly opened restaurant is Gurgaon, has them all in perfect quantity. Owners Varun Puri,…

With an ever increasing dependence on smart phones or perhaps I should say- with an ever increasing importance of smart phones in our lives, it only makes sense that smart phones have become a quintessential part of a modern day bloggers’ life. Our banking, grocery shopping, fashion-related shopping, even our life partner search, everything has shifted to our phone. Our addiction to phones is plausible. And who’d understand the addiction better than a blogger! We at Blue Sky Dreamers have been a tad more addicted to clicking and social media networking for a past few weeks. Thanks to our new Asus Zenfone 2 Laser (ZE550KL) phone. Now you may have read a…

There is a change brewing at Cafe Coffee Day outlets all over India. Blue Sky Dreamer, Purva Bhatia, decodes the new menu for you.  My constant grievance with Cafe Coffee Day (CCD) has been non-availability of whatever I wish to eat while sipping coffee. “Sorry ma’am, that’s not available right now” has been a predictable reply while placing the order. Whatever was available wasn’t tempting enough. Yet I keep going back to it. It’s perhaps because of the ambiance of ease that it offers. Plus, there are impressive outlets like the one opposite the Taj Palace Hotel (Sardar Patel Marg). An open-air CCD, it is one of my favourite hangout spots…

Do you remember the first wedding that you ever attended? I have a vivid memory of the wedding I attended. I remember how excited I was to attend the function. And I had my mother to thank for the excitement. She told me that we were going to see a prince and a princess, just like in the fairy tales. And boy was she right! As the groom rode in on his chariot and the bride made a grand entrance in her doli, the bride and groom looked nothing less than royalty. That is where the idea of weddings being our window to living the royal way stuck in my…

Genuine smiles and laughter of little boys and girls roaming about in amazement, posing for shutterbugs and then feasting on delicious snacks… the scenario is nowhere close to what you expect a hotel’s anniversary celebration to be. Defying the typical expectations, Courtyard by Marriott Gurgaon, India chose a more fulfilling way to celebrate its six successful years & Christmas festivities with the children of Harmony House (a non-profit organization committed to working towards the upliftment of underprivileged children). The hotel works with the NGO on a continuous basis. In a heartwarming moment, the kids went around a huge ginger bread house & “Christmas village” created by the dedicated chef & team of the…
